Chapter 54: Demolition Maniac Zhou Dexing!
Xu Da led 200 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops as the vanguard, and quickly swept away the Yuan army stronghold outside the city.
When the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Dingyuan City was completely surrounded.
However, the Yuan soldiers at the head of Dingyuan City were clean and clear, and they were not intimidated by the Red Turban Army because of their small troops.
"Marshal, the main general in the city is the Timur from before, our subordinates are defeated!"
Xu Da said next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Timur, last time he was reckless and rash and fell into our ambush, now he is cautious and ruthless!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
As for how to break through Dingyuan City, Zhu Han had already told Zhu Yuanzhang that he would be able to break the city wall in three or five days at most.
Faced with the defeat of the turtle formation by Dingyuan Guard, Zhu Yuanzhang was the happiest.
"Xu Da!" Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order.
"Marshal, the last general!" Xu Da hurriedly responded.
"Lead your forward army, guard the road from Chuzhou, and don't let the enemy's reinforcements sneak attack!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
According to the information he obtained, the general of the Yuan army in Chuzhou, Aru Ash, had about 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which was the strongest Yuan army in Jiangbei.
In case the Chuzhou Yuan army rushed to the rescue, they must be held back on the periphery of Dingyuan.
You can't let the two enemy forces echo, otherwise you may lose your efforts.
"The last general obeys!" Xu Da immediately took the order and left.
"Zhou Dexing!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted again.
"Marshal, the last general!" Zhou Dexing hurriedly responded.
"Prepare 3,000 soldiers and horses, and be at the disposal of Zhu Han, the secretary in charge!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
After the incorporation of the Hengjian Mountain Regiment for training, Zhu Yuanzhang's army more than doubled, and all military affairs became more complicated, and then Zhu Han mastered the important central military secrets, served as the secretary of the Marshal's Office, and was in charge of the issuance of all military orders, and also served as the commander of the engineer battalion.
These two new positions are the most important in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, except for Zhu Hanlai, no one is at ease!
"The last general obeys!" Zhou Dexing replied loudly.
Zhou Dexing knew that this must be to prepare for the attack on the city, and the last time he attacked Haozhou City, he assisted by Zhu Han's side.
Regarding this matter, Zhou Dexing still has some expectations in his heart.
Because Zhou Dexing had the heart to learn Zhu Han's acupoint attack and blasting method, but he was afraid that it was a military secret, so he was embarrassed to speak.
If you can help Zhu Han next to you, maybe you will be able to learn it yourself soon.
Zhou Dexing knew that he was not as steady as Tang He, and he was not as smart as Xu Da, and he wanted to learn Zhu Han's acupoint attack and blasting method very much.
Therefore, Zhou Dexing quickly led the people to Zhu Han's side.
"Secretary Zhang, I'm here!" Zhou Dexing said loudly.
Zhou Dexing is now the left commander of Longxing's pro-army, at the same level as Zhu Han's secretary.
"Brother Zhou, my brother doesn't need to be called that!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Now that the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has set foot on the start, he still needs Zhou Dexing and others to advance and retreat together.
"We're in the army now, didn't your brother say that you have to look like you are in the army!" Zhou Dexing said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Zhou is really sincere!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
The relationship between them, in fact, no longer needs to care about what to call it, and Zhu Han is reluctant to say more.
Zhou Dexing saw that Hu Yiba, the engineer management team, was leading people to prepare, so he immediately asked.
"The marshal asked me to bring three thousand men, how do you plan to use it, just give orders!"
In fact, Zhou Dexing has always had some doubts in his heart, the last time he broke through Haozhou City, at most it only took more than 300 people to dig and transport, and this time he attacked Dingyuan City, it took more than 3,000 people, he was really a little puzzled.
"Okay, since everyone has brought, let's immediately divide into ten groups and dig tunnels around Dingyuan City with tools!" Zhu Han said.
Sure enough, it's going to be blasted again!
Zhou Dexing immediately came to the spirit, ready to learn a lot on the side.
He immediately asked, "Brother, you have to teach me how to dig that tunnel!" ”
Zhou Dexing was full of anticipation, ready to listen carefully to Zhu Han's explanation of some of the secrets of acupuncture and blasting.
"Oh, you don't need to teach, they can dig as much as they want, as long as they pay attention to safety and don't collapse and bury people's lives." Zhu Han said.
"What?"
When Zhou Dexing heard this, he was immediately disappointed.
"No, brother, don't you want to attack the city, how can you dig a tunnel casually?" Zhou Dexing was puzzled.
Zhu Han laughed when he heard this, and then explained to Zhou Dexing.
"Brother Zhou, I will attack Dingyuan City this time, and I am going to have a virtual and real thing to prevent the enemy from attacking my cave attack."
"What does this mean?" Zhou Dexing hurriedly asked.
By Zhu Han's side, he can always learn a lot.
Zhou Dexing felt that it would be better to learn to read and write if he had the opportunity in the future, so that he could memorize Zhu Han's skills and learn them well.
"Actually, it's very simple, I'm going to put on a posture of attacking on all sides of Dingyuan City, confusing the defenders in the city, only one of them is a real cave attack, and the rest are just pretentious, so even if the defenders of Dingyuan want to block the tunnel, it is difficult to judge correctly." Zhu Han said.
When Zhou Dexing heard this, he immediately high-fived.
"Wonderful! That's what it means, we just need to dig a pit casually, wouldn't it scare them half to death! ”
Zhou Dexing said with a smile.
"Therefore, Brother Zhou, you have to lead your subordinates to play well and cooperate well, and there should be no less soil to be dug, so that the defenders can't see which ones are fake." Zhu Han said.
Zhou Dexing immediately patted his chest and shook the sky, "Brother, don't worry, this matter is on me." ”
With the 30,000 Red Turban Army blocking the water in the siege of Dingyuan, Zhu Han's acupoint attack Dafa immediately began.
Eleven cave attack armies set up a posture from around Dingyuan City, and began to dig tunnels under the noses of the Dingyuan defenders.
On the city wall of Dingyuan, Dalu Huachi Timur, Zhixian Zhang Zhiyuan, and the generals Ma Bao and Han Cunhou were all dumbfounded.
"Your mother, these red turban thieves are all ant spirits, why don't you do anything, come here, and start digging tunnels?" Ma Bao scolded.
Logically speaking, there are many ways for the army to attack the city, in addition to the tunnel cave attack, there are also the making of columbs and towers to attack the city wall, rushing to destroy the city gates, or using catapults and fire guns to bombard the city wall.
Among these siege methods, the tunnel cave attack can be described as slow and ineffective.
But these red turban thieves outside are good, and they dig tunnels without saying a word, preparing to attack.
And it's eleven routes to attack.
Ma Bao felt that these red turban thief generals must be a group of fools.
"Acting so weirdly, there must be a deception!" Zhang Zhiyuan stroked his beard and frowned.
The Daluhua Chi Timur next to him was also confused by the eleven points of the Red Turban Army.
